adj.形容词
little, small, tiny这组词的共同意思是“小”。其区别是： little和small在修饰物时,前者着重数量不多、少; 后者侧重于程度和尺寸的大小。little和small用来修饰人时,前者侧重于因年龄小而使身形娇小,后者则侧重于指比一般人身材矮小,含有比较的意味。另外, little还含有一种small所没有的感情色彩,往往含有“小得可爱”“小得可怜”等意思。tiny比little和small更强调小,含有“微不足道”的意思。例如: There is little gasoline left in the tank.油箱里没有多少汽油了。
The boy is small for his age.这男孩身材小得同年龄不相称。
He lived in a tiny cottage all by himself.他一人住在一间很小的茅屋里。
pron.代词
little, a little这两者意义并不相同,前者具有否定意义,表示“很少”;后者具有肯定意义,表示“一些,少许”。同样数量的东西,有时可说little,有时可说a little,全凭主观上的看法。试比较: I have a little money. 我有一点点钱。虽少但有 I have little money. 我有少量的钱。虽有但少 Little remains to be done.没有什么可做的了。
A little remains to be done.还有一点要做一做。little, few这两个词都有“很少”“没多少”的意思,都表示否定含意。few用于可数名词前,与many相对; little用在不可数名词前,与much相对。 注意下面两个句子的翻译:I have not a little money.［误］ 我一点钱都没有。【正】 我有很多钱。 She was not a little surprised.［误］ 她一点都不吃惊。【正】 她非常吃惊。 little，few，several这几个词用作形容词时均含“少量的”之意。 little只修饰不可数名词，含否定意义。 few只修饰可数名词的复数形式，侧重指数量非常少，给人一种模糊概念，含否定意义。 several修饰可数名词的复数形式，指至少有3个，但不会超过5、6个。 little，small，tiny，minute，miniature这些形容词均有“小的”之意。 little指在体积、数量、距离、年龄、身材等方面比正常的小，多带主观感情色彩，含小而可爱或小巧的意味。 small多指数量、面积、体积、价值、数字或意义等的小或少，指略小于正常的大小。 tiny强调与同类或其他物体比较，小得超出正常比例，有时带强烈的感情色彩。 minute指小得难看见，有时需用显微镜才看得见。 miniature指由正常体积微缩的物体。 直接源自古英语的lytel，意为少，小。
